Mad King Thorn (the Mad King) appeared every three hours starting at noon (PST in US, GMT in Europe) on 31 October 2005 in Lion's Arch, in the mushroom circle. All those that obeyed his commands by emoting received a Pumpkin Crown as well as Halloween items.

Like the previous event, on Halloween 2007 Mad King Thorn appeared in the same mushroom circle area in both Lion's Arch and Kamadan on October 31st, 2007. Undead horsemen "Heralds" routinely warned travelers of their master's impending arrival in both cities. Mad King's Guards also stands up before his arrival. When he arrived, he began commanding people. If you did what he wanted - usually by emoting - you would receive Trick-or-Treat Bag. If you failed to comply, you would die, but then be resurrected before the next command. At the end of the game he would give everyone a Scarecrow Mask (Lion's Arch) or a Mummy Mask (Kamadan). The game lasted approximately 30 minutes and included jokes, commands, rock-paper-scissors games and a "Simon Says"-like game at the end.

[edit] Dialogue

[edit] Opening Dialogue (2006)

"Come and stand before me, my subjects, and bask in my glory!"
"Yes, gather 'round. Don't be intimidated by my regal bearing, I won't harm you, unless you give me good reason to do so."
"Is this everyone? Where have all the brave Tyrians/Elonians gone? COME HERE, NOW!"
"Good, good! Seeing all my adoring subjects before me again gives me a WONDERFUL idea. Let's have a CELEBRATION in honor of ME!"

[edit] Opening Dialogue (2007)

Lion's Arch:
Kamadan:
”Greetings, people of Elona! I am King Thorn of Kryta! I command you to entertain me on this Hallowed Eve!”
”Come and stand before me. Stand within my lovely ring of madness!”
”Yes, gather ‘round. Don’t be intimidated by my regal bearings. I won’t harm you, unless you give me good reason to do so…”
Lion's Arch:
Kamadan:
”Where have all the brave Elonians gone? Come closer, I say! Do not try my patience!”
”Good, good! Seeing all my adoring subjects before me again gives me a WONDERFUL idea. Let’s have a CELEBRATION in honor of ME!”

[edit] Kneeling Dialogue (2006 & 2007)

”It is fitting for peasants to show their superiors the proper respect, is it not?”
”Why, in the old days, there was not a man in all the world who dared look me in the eye as if we were equals.”
”Now, kneel before King Thorn! Kneel before me! KNEEL NOW, I SAY!”
”In days of old, any who did not show proper respect to the king paid with their lives. Fitting, if you ask me.”
”I just love to see you all grovel! HA HA!”

[edit] Agreeing Dialogue (2007)

”Isn’t this fun? I haven’t enjoyed myself this much since I had that entire village skinned alive all those years ago!"
”This is quite entertaining, don’t you think so?”
”I asked you all a question! Do you AGREE, or don’t you?"
”I’m sure you can guess what happens to peasants who do not agree with a king!”
”HA HA! It is good to be king.”

[edit] Team Spirit Dialogue (2007)

Lion's Arch:
"It is nice to see so many people from across Tyria working together to appease a Mad King such as I. It almost brings a tear to my eye."
Kamadan:
”It is nice to see so many people from a distant land working together to appease a Mad King such as I. It almost brings a tear to my eye.”
"Let me see your team spirit...GO TEAM!!!"
Lion's Arch:
"This lack of team spirit will not be tolerated! Die!"
Kamadan:
”A lack of team spirit will not be tolerated.”
"Yes! It even smells like team spirit!"

[edit] Bowing Dialogue (2007)

"If only I could relive those glory days, when all would bow before me..."
"I remember a time when I would walk through the city and all of my subjects would bow before me."
Lion's Arch:
"Ah...it is good to be back in Lion's Arch."
Kamadan:
”Ah…it is good to be back in Kamadan. When I was a young man, I came all the way here from Kryta to woo the royal princess.”
"Perhaps I was too subtle in my request for some of you to understand. Too bad for you."
"Loyal subjects are always rewarded."

[edit] Dance Dialogue (2006 & 2007)

"There is something missing from this celebration...but what could it be?"
"I know! This is a party, is it not? Then why is there no dancing?"
"Let the dancing begin! Dance, I say! DANCE!"
"If you don't dance, then you're no friends of mine."
"Some of you dance well. I am pleased. Here is your reward."

[edit] Music Dialogue (2007)

"I grow weary of these games. Let us have music! I demand music!"
”Everyone play and keep playing. Play your hearts out. PLAY OR I WILL RIP YOUR HEARTS OUT!”
Lion's Arch:
"Now, play for me! And give it everything you've got!"
Kamadan:
”Yes, yes. Play for me now! And give it everything you’ve got!”
"Such sweet music to my ears. It reminds me of my glory days. You have all done well and will be rewarded."

[edit] Begging Dialogue (2007)

”You all like treats don’t you? Of course you do! We all love treats!”
”Hmm… Some of you don’t seem to want treats very badly. You had better convince me that you really, really want a treat, or I shall be disappointed…”
”Let me see you beg!”
”Hardly a worthy effort from some of you. Can you not beg any better than that?”
”Many of you are excellent beggars! Ha ha! I am pleased."

[edit] Scary Dialogue (2007)

"Hmm...things are not nearly scary enough around here."
"I think that on a night such as this, the mood should be very scary."
"I'd like you all to try and scare me. DO IT NOW!"
Lion's Arch:
"Some of you couldn't scare a moa bird!"
Kamadan:’’’
”Some of you couldn’t scare a flamingo!”
"Some of you truly frightened me! I think a reward is in order."

[edit] Joke Dialogue (2006)

"Luckily for you, in addition to being wise and generous, I am very, very witty. Listen up!"

"Why did the Charr cross the Wall?"
"To get to the other side!"
"Why can't you borrow money from a Dwarf?"
"Because they're always a little short. HA HA HA HA HA! Get it? DWARVES are SHORT!
"Knock, Knock"
(Now you say: "Who's There?")
"It's Mad King Thorn, and I command you to laugh! LAUGH NOW OR DIE!"
"A Troll, a Tengu and a Dwarf walk into a bar..."
"No wait, only the Troll and the Tengu do, the Dwarf walks UNDER the bar!!"
"I just flew in from the Underworld..."
"and boy are my arms tired!"

[edit] Joke Dialogue (2007)

"What this celebration needs is a bit of humor. Unfortunately, the court jester couldn't make it tonight."
"Luckily for you, in addition to being wise and generous, I am very, very witty. Listen up!"

"How many Asuras does it take to screw in a power core?"
"None, they force a human to do it for them!"
"How are a Paragon and a drunkard alike?"
"Both like to shout at strangers and run around without any pants."
"When I first returned from the Land of the Dead, one of the fine citizens of Lion's Arch let out a cry: "Why King Thorn, you have a pumpkin on your head!""
"And I said, "Eh?" So he repeated, "Milord, you have a pumpkin on your head!""
"And I said, “What?” So he yelled, “Milord, you have a pumpkin on your head!""
"To which, I replied, "A thousand pardons, fine citizen, I cannot hear you. I HAVE A PUMPKIN ON MY HEAD!" HA HA HA HA HA!"
"This celebration gives me a feeling of deja vu."
"This celebration gives me a feeling of deja vu. (That's a joke, you dolts! LAUGH NOW OR DIE!)"
"What's the difference between the Great Dwarf and the Great Destroyer?"
"One is a harbringer of the apocalypse and the other is an oxymoron."
"Why do the Norn "Become the Bear?""
"Because "Become the Arrogant Loudmouth" was already taken by the Asura."

"One way or another, my jokes always slay the audience!"
"Although I know the joke was quite rewarding in itself, here is a little something for those who laughed."

[edit] Rock-Paper-Scissors Dialogue (2006 & 2007)

"Now, as you all know, while I lived, my military genius was unsurpassed. I crushed every peasant revolt that rose up against me!"
"My army could not be defeated! My fleet was unsurpassed! Most impressive of all, I was the MASTER of that greatest test of strategic aptitude: ROCK-PAPER-SCISSORS!"
"(Your Name), you look like a smart one! Now, I am going to count down from three, then you must choose a weapon that will overcome the weapon I choose."
"Three..."
"Two..."
"One!"
One of the following, depending if the player won, lost, or tied:
"I have lost? How can that be? DID YOU CHEAT ME? No, I suppose not. Here is your reward."
"I'm afraid I'm just too smart for you. You've lost and so you must die. Justice is cruel, ha ha ha!"
"A tie? Ha ha ha ha ha. Great minds think alike, do they not?".

[edit] Mad King Says! Dialogue (2007)

Lion's Arch:
"This last game is very difficult and will take all of your skill and knowledge. Even the greatest heroes of Orr, Kryta, and Ascalon have feared to play this game with Mad King Thorn. We shall now play..."
Kamadan:
”This last game is very difficult and will take all of your skill and knowledge. Even the greatest heroes of Elona have feared to play this game with Mad King Thorn. We shall now play…”
"...Mad King Says!"
"All right, this is very simple. You must do only what the Mad King Says. If I give a command preceded by the words "Mad King Says," then you must obey. If you do not hear these words, then you must not undertake the action. Are we ready?"
"Let me see your muscles! Mad King Says: FLEX!"
"Let's see your muscles! FLEX!"
"I know you are not bored, but still, I would like to see you YAWN!"
"I think I would like you all to jump now. Mad King Says: JUMP!"
"Now JUMP!"
"All right now, I think I would like to hear all of you roar like a great beast. Yes, that would be nice. Mad King Says: ROAR!"
"All right, now roar like a monster! Ready, set, ROAR!"

[edit] Hat Gifting Dialogue (2007)

"Sadly, it is time for me to go."
"Do not weep, for it has been a glorious night!"

[edit] Notes

  • In rock-paper-scissors a player can win, lose or tie. If you win, you get one Trick-or-Treat Bag. If there is a tie, nothing happens. If Mad King Thorn wins, he kills the player (who is quickly resurrected).
  • During the Music dialogue if there is an instrument missing everyone dies, not generally a problem in full districts.
  • If you completed each emote correctly, you should finish with around 30 Trick-or-Treat Bags.
